(Get the code!)
I use vnc viewers for work every day, and was really looking forward to vinagre.
However, xvnc4viewer and xtightvincviewer are much more useful at this point. They are each much faster, and xtightvncviewer allows me to copy something from my desktop and paste it into something in the vnc session (clumsily, and it doesn't always work).
Vinagre was supposed to be provide that kind of copy/paste functionality and more, but it's not there yet. The copy/paste works, but something as simple as clicking on the format brush in a spreadsheet inside a vnc session, and trying to format another cell, just doesn't work. That's pretty basic functionality that isn't there, but is present in much older systems.
Add to that how slow vinagre is, and I'm afraid it's just not ready. If there were at least a way to manage the visual depth in order to make it run a little snappier, it'd be better off.
